In the last several months a number of people have been meeting with City Council member Don Lane to prepare for a new initiative in compassion during 2015 and beyond. We have planned several activities including a community service kick off day on Martin Luther King Day Jan 19, 2015, speakers on the Science of Compassion, community workshops on compassionate listening and speaking, celebration of and elevation of existing compassionate community events including: The Human Race, Cesar Chavez Day, Serve the Bay, Coastal Cleanup Day, Make a Difference Day and many more. Bring your ideas and join us at the event in a brainstorm and breakout session to make our city a more compassionate place!
